Luffy, how can you become the Pirate King if you don't work hard!

Speed, power, skill...

Lucci's mind raced, his cold rationality analyzing the battle situation.

His proud Six Styles appeared so pale and powerless in the face of his opponent's physical techniques, which combined the strangeness of rubber with domineering power.

The improvement brought by the drug only postponed the defeat for a moment, but could not bridge the fundamental gap that was as vast as the ocean.

"Delaying it will only make things worse and create more trouble for us."

A resolute ruthlessness rose in Lucci's eyes.

He is the strongest member of CP9 in eight hundred years, a ruthless weapon that prioritizes missions above all else. Even in defeat, he will be defeated completely, burning away all his power, including the borrowed medicinal strength, in this one strike!

"This is the only way!"

Luffy noticed Lucci's gaze, grinned, and said, "Taking a gamble is a good idea."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lucci let out a low growl.

Luffy's eyes flickered slightly, and the leopard in front of him vanished from its spot. His muscles bulged and contracted violently in a way that exceeded their limits, pushing the Life Return technique to its extreme.

boom.

Lucci used his entire body as a weapon, his leopard tail coiling around Luffy, his fists trying to reach Luffy's chest. However, Luffy's fist struck Lucci's chest first, the huge impact sending Lucci flying. Luffy followed closely, his fist retracting before slamming down.

Lucci lowered his body and slapped his hands back. Instead of retreating, he advanced in the face of Luffy's attack, abandoning defense and evasion and betting everything on this one blow!

"Six Styles Ultimate Technique - Maximum Wheel - Six Kings Spear!!!"

With that desperate roar, Lucci threw out both fists.

Two shockwaves, condensed to their maximum, transformed into a dark red, violent energy column that shot out.

Wherever the energy pillar passed, the air was completely displaced, and deep trenches were plowed into the ground. With a devastating force that seemed capable of destroying everything, it ruthlessly hurtled towards Luffy.

This was a selfless strike that combined all his life's learning with all his strength at this moment.

Faced with this earth-shattering attack, Luffy's white body slightly lowered, but his face showed no sign of solemnity. Instead, it was filled with an excited anticipation.

He suddenly stretched his arms backward, not towards the sky, but plunged them into the half-broken wall of the Justice Tower behind him.

A strange sight occurred: the hard brick and stone wall was assimilated, taking on the unique luster and texture of rubber, and then violently twisted and deformed, becoming a giant slingshot stretched to its limit.

Rubber, white rockets!!!

Before the words were even finished, the rubberized tower ruins burst forth with astonishing elasticity.

Luffy's feet slammed against the twisted rubber wall, instantly accelerating him to an unbelievable speed, transforming him into a pure white streak of light, trailing a fiery tail of intense heat generated by high-speed friction with the air, as he crashed head-on into the two dark red torrents of energy.

Boom!

Pure white and dark red clash fiercely!

The deafening roar seemed to tear the entire Enies Lobby apart. A blinding light erupted from the center of the collision, and the terrifying energy shock spread wildly in a ring outwards, completely leveling all the nearby ruins.

However, this seemingly deadlocked stalemate lasted for less than a moment.

Luffy had already approached Lucci and grinned at him.

Lucky's pupils contracted sharply.

impossible!

The next moment, Lucci's figure was completely engulfed by that irresistible force, and he was sent flying backward like a puppet with its strings cut.

It traced a pale arc through the air before crashing heavily into the ruins beneath the Tower of Justice, kicking up clouds of dust.

His aura, which had been forcibly boosted by the drug, quickly withered away like a punctured balloon.

This is normal for Luffy; the two are no longer on the same level.

Almost simultaneously, CP9 members, who were engaged in fierce battles with Zoro, Sanji, and others across the battlefield, caught a glimpse of this decisive moment out of the corner of their eyes.

Kaku's long-nosed slash paused slightly, allowing Zoro to seize the opportunity and force him back with a single strike. Kaku inwardly sighed:

"So you still can't do it?"

Previously, Luffy easily defeated the entire group that attacked him, and even though Lucci was on drugs, the gap between them was still insurmountable.

After exchanging kicks with Sanji, Jabra used the momentum to leap backward. Looking in the direction Lucci flew, he grinned, but couldn't let out any mocking laughter; only a deep sense of powerlessness remained.

Kalifa, Bruno, and the others also felt a chill in their hearts.

Even Lucci, who had taken the deadly drug and unleashed his ultimate technique, was defeated so thoroughly. Their previous combined defeat was no accident.

That straw hat kid is from a completely different dimension than them.

They were almost prepared to be easily eliminated by the victor, their nerves taut as they awaited the next attack.

However, to their surprise, Luffy, who defeated Lucci in one move, didn't even glance at them.

Using the natural rebound of his rubber body after the collision, and the slight elasticity of the rubbery ground beneath his feet, he deftly twisted in mid-air, rising suddenly as if weightless, and shot towards the depths of Judiciary Island, towards the Tribunal, a symbol of judgment and order!

His goal was always crystal clear.

call out!

Like a white shooting star, the figure instantly traversed a vast distance, appearing atop the courthouse in the core area of ​​Judiciary Island in a few leaps and bounds.

His gaze was fixed on the highest point of the distant city wall, where a huge banner fluttered in the wind under the eternal daylight!

Although Luffy has never seen the so-called World Government flag, the one that can fly at such a high place should be similar to their pirate flag.

Destroying the flag next would be a declaration of war against the World Government, wouldn't it?

But what about the witnesses?

No one witnessed it, so who knows it was me?

What's the difference between this and people who hide at home and secretly criticize the world government?

Just as they were worried about having no one around, they suddenly saw a person tumbling and crawling out of the entrance—it was Spandam.

After accidentally pressing the Buster Call button, Spandam was both angry and anxious, and quickly went to see what was going on.

He was still in shock, leaning against the wall and panting.

He looked up and saw the figure wearing a straw hat; his pupils suddenly contracted.

"Holy crap, Straw Hat Boy?!"

Spandam was initially incredulous, then jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, blustering but ultimately trembling as he launched into a tirade:

"What are you doing here? Didn't that good-for-nothing Lucci swear he'd stop you? CP9 is just a bunch of useless bastards after all!"

Luffy ignored his barking. He didn't even recognize the man; he was waiting for the people behind Spandam.

"It's all because of that devilish child, Nicole Robin!"

It wasn't until Spandam steered the conversation towards Robin: "You pirates have no idea what kind of beings you've messed with. The World Government won't let you get away with this. That woman should have been in Ohara long ago..."

Chapter 205 Who's in favor, and who's opposed?

"Shut up!"

Luffy suddenly turned his head and glared fiercely at Spandam.

The icy killing intent and domineering aura in those eyes made Spandam feel as if he were being stared at by a prehistoric beast. All the words stuck in his throat, his legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground with a thud, his crotch instantly soaked.

Just then, a tall figure, wearing the righteous cloak of a naval admiral and with a look of utter annoyance, slowly emerged from the shadows behind Spandam.

It was none other than Admiral Aokiji!

"So you actually came here, Straw Hat Boy."

A chill spread, and Aokiji stood with his hands in his pockets, saying, "There's no turning back now."

Spandam, as if seeing a savior, scrambled to hide behind Aokiji, pointing at Luffy and screaming:

"Aokiji, Admiral Aokiji! Did you see that? This lawless pirate dares to glare at me! He has no idea who he's provoking! You must capture him!"

Although Aokiji ignored him, Spandam seemed to have found his backbone and regained some confidence, shouting at Luffy:

"Straw Hat Kid! Do you know who this is? This is Admiral Aokiji, the Navy Headquarters' top combat force!"

Luffy was getting annoyed. "It's so noisy. Anyone who didn't know better would think you were an admiral."

Spandam was taken aback and became enraged.

"Foolish pirates! It's you guys who made such a mess of the sea. You arrogant fools, you have no idea how insignificant you are. Look at that flag!"

Spandam pointed to the World Government flag fluttering in the sky.

"That is a pattern composed of the symbols of more than 170 member states of the four seas and the Grand Line."

This is the world!

"You pirates are like rats in the gutter, you'll never know how vast this sea is, or how enormous the organization that rules it is! Nico Robin, that woman, has been hunted by this huge organization for over twenty years! What makes you think you can stand against the whole world?!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Luffy moved.

He didn't speak, but simply raised his right arm, which instantly turned bright red. The intense heat distorted the air, and flames coiled around it.

Rubber Fire Fist!

boom!

A massive shockwave of fire, like a roaring fire dragon, broke free from Luffy's arm and, with unstoppable force, precisely pierced through the World Government flag high above.

The flag was instantly set ablaze, and the raging flames burned in the air like a small sun falling from the sky, turning the entire Judiciary Island a fiery red.

The ripples created by the flames seemed to impact the hearts of everyone who witnessed this scene.

In an instant, the entire Judiciary Island fell into a deathly silence.

All the naval officers and World Government officials still fighting, and even some CP9 members, stared in disbelief at the burning flag, their minds blank.

Did they really do it?

Do they know what attacking this flag means?

This means openly declaring war on the world government that has ruled the world for eight hundred years!
